In a shocking revelation that has sent ripples through the legal corridors of Kenya, Brian Mwendwa Njagi, who purported to be a seasoned lawyer, has been exposed as an imposter, raising concerns about the security of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Portal and the potential for identity theft within the legal profession.

Brian Mwendwa, known for handling high-profile cases, has found himself in the eye of a storm after reports surfaced online, revealing that he lacks the necessary credentials to be verified by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK).
